These are not pure EVs, this isn't new? Do I have that wrong? I thought hybrids have been around for a while.

But in China, the emergence of extended-range EVs — which run primarily on electricity but use a gasoline engine to charge the battery when it runs low — and the rise in ultra-fast charging could solve the issue once and for all.

I guess they are a bit different from regular hybrids.

This is exactly how my 2018 Chevy Volt works, although 1000 total miles is much higher than my car's range of about 350.

How is your volt holding up? They look neat, but I can't get a good sense of their longevity

It's rock solid at about 67K miles, been using it for rideshare averaging 37mpg overall while driving about 300 miles per day.
